CCR/DUNS Numbers
CCR/DUNS Numbers
On April 25, 2012 HUD published Notice H 2012-06, which codifies the DUNS Number and CCR registration requirements into Federal regulations. Owners with Project-Based Section 8, Section 202 or 811 PRACs, RAP or Rent Supplement Contracts must obtain a Dun and Bradstreet Number System (DUNS) Number and register in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) by Friday June 22, 2012 or risk suspension of your property’s housing assistance payments or rental assistance payments.
Project-Based Section 8, Section 202 and 811 PRACs were already required to obtain a DUNS Number and register in the CCR under Notice 2011-01 (issued January 5, 2011). Notice H 2012-06 expands these requirements to RAP and Rent Supp properties.
After you have a DUNS Number and register in the CCR, you must also submit your Registration Certification to your local HUD office, to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Notice H 2012-06 and H 2011-01. HUD has informed us that if you have ALREADY submitted this certification to your local HUD office, you do not need to do so again.  Please note that you must update ANNUALLY.

Some HUD Field Offices are double-checking property CCR registration information in the CCR public database, in addition to the property self-certification to ensure compliance with Notices H 2011-01 and H 2012-06. Make sure your registration is publicly viewable in the CCR system by clicking the appropriate check-box during your registration/renewal.
